NZXT Guardian 921

Component Installation
Although the nine drive bays have tool-free installation through the use of screwless rail design, you'll have to install the motherboard and power supply with the use of a phillip's head screw driver and screws. For the lazy people out there, like myself, it's actually fairly easy to install the motherboard using the provided motherboard standoffs, and then screwing the motherboard in tightly. The power supply itself is also simple to install by placing it in the correct area and using the provided screws to secure it into place. After the installation of the motherboard, it seems as though I was correct in saying the inside of the case seems a bit cramped. Although this seems a bit obnoxious, it shouldn't affect the normal person, unless of course you have a massive video card.
Conclusion
All in all, NZXT's Guardian 921 is a well rounded case. The menacing looking exterior has a much more pleasing aesthetic quality compared to its predecessor, the original Guardian by NZXT. The lights, as you can see, are fairly bright, even in a full lit room. The temperature gauge does its job brilliantly, without looking too extravagant. Overall, for its price, the Guardian 921 is a great deal for the gamer on a budget.
